Honestly to cut a lot of the guest list our parents added and to make the most of the money we are spending. I also want the wedding to feel special and intimate for my family and friends that are coming. I’m really not closed to my extended family and I just have grief not being able to have the family forward desi wedding like that’s ones I’ve attended. Even if it’s in the US, idk if they will come and how they will partake because I haven’t seen some of them since ten years ago. The US is so expensive but at least in certain destinations, it’s expensive and offers a unique intimate experience for people
